Being wrong is how you meet the world.
Every child has a moment when the thing they were sure about turns out to be different. Beignet doesn’t get scared or upset. She gets curious, she makes a new friend named Tasso, and she jumps in the water for the very first time. And when she comes home soaked and muddy, Papa is right there to say, “That’s my girl.”
What kids take away
It’s okay to be wrong.
Finding out you had it mixed up is the start of something new, not something to be embarrassed about.
New friends can look different.
Tasso isn’t what Beignet expected, and that’s exactly why he’s fun.
Brave can be one paw at a time.
Beignet tests the cold water with one paw before the big splash.
Practice pays off.
The first time, only her bottom sits. By the end, all of her does.

The real Beignet
Beignet is a real white Lab who lives in Baton Rouge with Papa, Lucy, Lexi, and Timone the cat. The stories are imagined, but the family, the places, and the commands are all real.
